Students from Anson New Tech High School were treated to a performance
of WAR BONDS: THE SONGS AND LETTERS OF WORLD WAR II on Monday, September
12 at the Ansonia Theatre in downtown Wadesboro, NC. For many students,
it was the first time they attended a production in the restored
historic theater.
The performance featured actual veterans' letters and popular music from
the World War II era. Serena Ebhardt and David zum Brunnen of EbzB
Productions created the play from oral histories and collected letters.
After the performance, students had an opportunity to ask questions
about the production and the time period.
Artists from EbzB Productions will conduct an Arts-In-Education
residency at Anson New Tech High School this semester. Students will
create their own production based on oral histories from Anson County
residents. The Anson County Arts Council, who is sponsoring the
residency, is promoting the Ansonia Theatre as a centerpiece for the
topic of the students' production.
